[BangPypers] How to run *.py scripts which interfaces with modules

[Naresh Khalasi]

Hi,

The root directory (where your package starts) should be added to PYTHONPATH
environment variable.
e.g. if your root directory is /home/<username>/projects/mailman
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/<username>/projects/mailman

Once you do that you "cd" in the project directory and execute by saying
python Mailman/Bouncers/BouncerAPI.py <args>

or you can you use "python -m" if you want to run from a working directory
which is not your project directory.

Also ensure that each package directory contains "__init__.py" file so that
python can treat/identify it as a package directory.
